Apparently, it was for soundproofing purposes.

While I understand that we may have the need to discuss politics this is not the place for it. Firstly it’s a Car Forum even if it’s posted in the off topic section rules are rules NO POLITICS.

I want to give you guys the respect you deserve and wanted to remind everyone of the NO POLITICS on the forum per AK’s Rules. I’m not going to be giving any further warnings. I’m going to be forced to take some unpleasant actions members continuing to bring political discussion or anything else that’s not allowed on here You as veteran OG members should know better. Keep it to chit chat discussions car related if possible and not turn into members attacking members I’m asking one last time keep it civil and respectful. Thank You and for the record no one brought me in here. I do still look after things so don’t think it’s a free for all. Have a good Memorial weekend!!

Hey Trips! What's the chances of getting a thread for "political" discussion? Maybe it can be private by invitation only? No personal attacks of course. Just throwing this out there.

As are we all. Another curious thing is after realizing what a stupid idea that was he got a replacement hood and just left the 100lbs of garbage at his "friends" house to dispose of. If I get a chance this weekend I'll post some pics of it. IDK if pics will do it justice but it is something to see in person

I'm not going anywhere yet, but I find myself with nothing much to say. I'm passionate about my opinions (obviously) and if I can't say what's on my mind, there's not much here for me anymore. No threats, no foot stomping, it is what is is. just stating what's in my heart. Just my 2 cents.

EW, I just really have to know, as other inquiring minds want to know as well. Why did you put tar on the undersides of your hood?

And did you really leave it at someone else's place? :rofl2:

Unfortunately I could tell you the truth, but those few people that think they know, dont really know, and they're feeding you bullsh*t..

The truth is, I dynamat'd my entire Z, (trunk/roof/entire cabin) I had bought a lot of it from Tracie (a fellow forum member) and I had some left over so I did put it on my hood. Eventually I ended up getting a carbon fiber hood, Madwi (another forum member and a good friend of mine) allowed me to store my Z in his garage, and Madwi said he would take it because he had just bought Trac Spec hood vents for his Z and he wanted to cut up my former hood for practice before he installed his Trac Spec hood vent on his. (again, you can easily verify this with Madwi, this is the truth).

Did Madwi actually do this, no he did not, so I believe someone else that needed it, had picked it up from Madwi's house. So despite what my fans would say or believe to be true, those are the facts.

Ohh, and one other thing, my fans often talk about this ice cream thing with my credit card, again they're not telling you the truth, the truth is, we went to this place on lake michigan that only accepted cash, I had never been to this place and I didn't know thats all they accepted was cash, I don't carry cash on me, so yes Jarblue bought me an ice cream cone. (Thank you Jarblue). But all this talk about my credit card being declined, its laughable. Its those same guys driving their 2009/2010/2011/2012/2013 -- 370Zs... Last time I looked in the garage, there's this beautiful Absolute Zero Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium Edition thats almost paid off, and its sooooo much faster than the 370z :icon17:.. So trust me when I say this, my credit rating is legit, I don't have to put money down for sh*t for anything..and that my friend, thats a fact!:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

eastwest2300 05-24-2023 10:49 PM

And one last thing, I'm done talking about it. You asked for clarification, you got clarification. You fellas have a good night. Be blessed.:tiphat:

But why did you dynamat your car?

Looks like Target is about to be “Bud Lighted”. Do we really need to see this “pride” garbage in the front of their stores? And selling pride baby clothes? Really? You should be investigated for child abuse if you buy this junk.

What two consenting adult do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is of no concern to me. I just don’t want it thrown in my face and being told I have accept it.

Uh, no I don’t, and no I won’t. Go woke, go broke!

EW was 100% helping me out by giving me a hood. I just haven't gotten around to using it. I appreciate the generosity! However, it's still a heavy hood :bowrofl: (don't take that hard either, it's just funny to rib a bit)

Then stop being a smartazz lol

Politics are inherently controversial. And controversial topics generally devolve into less-than-productive conversations, as evidenced occasionally in this thread. That is the reason for the no politics rule. It's not about semantics.

Happy Thursday everyone :hello:

EW let me know if you need some cash ;)

JARblue 05-25-2023 10:45 AM

Politics are a dumb discussion anyway. It's a waste of energy to support or rail against any politician. None of them are worth their weight in hypodermic needles. If you really care, then go out and do something. The problem is people are sheep so they care about what they're told to care about. And it's a lot easier to be a keyboard warrior.

I get where you're coming from. People will have different opinions and views. It's one thing to try to force one's beliefs onto someone else, but expressing them diplomatically and civilly is simply having a conversation. Me personally, I post what I read and throw in my 2 cents, but that's about it and I don't state that my opinion is the absolute truth.

Talking about politics is no different than anyone stating their opinions about any given topic (as long as it's done the right way). For example, I'm dealing with the CSC/CMC issue, and I've read/heard different stories about the kits from Z1 and ZSpeed. People can exchange their views and their personal opinions, but as long as it doesn't turn into a pissing match (as with any topic), this is the same concept (BTW, I'm for ZSpeed for this particular issue).

In regards to my other post, I am erring on the side of caution and just wanting to be a 100% sure on what I can/cannot talk about, though it seems asinine that there are off-limit topics in the free world. The term "politics" is broad and subjective, and is up for interpretation. If I mention that I saw Trump at a football game, would my post be flagged as political and get me banned? Or if I mention I like the same ice cream flavor as Brandon, will this post be deemed as political? Or if I mentioned that Brady retired from the NFL for office politics reasons, will Trips delete my post?

Ignoring a problem doesn’t fix anything. It’s this apathy that got us where we’re at today. Sometimes you gotta hold your nose and wallow with the pigs.

That’s a negative on both counts! 🤪🤬

Did the CSC take the clutch out with it? That was always on my mind and one of the reasons I sold her.

I was religious with flushing the system with motul every 10,000 miles, but it always felt like I was sitting on a ticking time bomb.

My experience with the CSC/MC is different than what most people report. She drives fine and the clutch pedal doesn't get stuck to the floorboard, but does get a softer feel/less pressure once the car gets warmed up, but the clutch pedal always comes back up without hesitation. I do have to top off the clutch fluid, but I don't see any fluid underneath the car.

I ordered the CSC/MC/Clutch package from ZSpeed.
